Core Tip	Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is the conventional resection method of colorectal polyps. However certain lesions such as large sessile polyps can be challenging. Piecemeal resection has been shown to result in a high recurrence rate requiring further endoscopic sessions or surgery. Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is still at a relatively early stage, there are very few studies directly comparing the two modalities, few randomised controlled trials and fewer still reporting longer-term outcomes. This meta-analysis reports mid-term follow-up outcomes of colorectal ESD and EMR. ESD demonstrates higher en-bloc resection rates and lower mid-term recurrence rates compared to colorectal EMR albeit with higher complication rates.
